Philadelphia police are conducting an internal investigation after teens in a stolen car fatally struck a motorcyclist in Philadelphia Tuesday night.Philadelphia police are conducting an internal investigation following a deadly crash involving a stolen car. Wilberto Casillas , 55, of Philadelphia, was killed when the car full of teens crashed into his motorcycle.
Investigators later learned that the Kia had been reported stolen on Monday from Northeast Philadelphia. Action News has obtained the newest surveillance video, which was captured two blocks from the crime scene. However, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner would not say whether officers were chasing the five teenagers in the stolen Kia.
"Some officers immediately went to aid the motorcycle operator because they realized he was lying on the highway," Small said. "Some officers went to aid that driver and other officers chased the juveniles that fled from the Kia on foot. They did a great job and apprehended all five of them."That's when Neely was taken into custody.
"So, when you add all those facts together, I think that comes to a level of recklessness which I think supports the 3rd-degree murder charge," said Anthony Voci, Supervisor, Assistant District Attorney for the Juvenile Homicide Unit.
